This Anaphylaxis Awareness course is designed to help learners understand more about what anaphylaxis is, what the symptoms of allergies and anaphylaxis are, and what can be done to help a person with anaphylaxis manage the condition.


Throughout the course you’ll learn more about the common symptoms to look out for amongst the people you work with, live with, care for or cater for. Upon completion of the training, you'll be able to understand the vital first aid measures to take – including how to put a person in the recovery position and how to administer an auto-injector - should someone suffer from an anaphylactic shock

A one day course in which Chris Croft will explain everything you need to know in order to plan and deliver successful projects. There are also some practical exercises and a short excel demo from Chris. The course will be fun as well as inspirational, and by the end you’ll feel keen to try out the methods on your real projects back at work, because from now on you’ll have control of your projects – you’ll have less stress and better results. Nobody can love Gantt charts as much as Chris, but you will probably quite like them by the end of the course.

It is essential that a wide range of staff working in local authority, health and social care agencies are fully aware of the key issues in safeguarding vulnerable adults and of how the policy affects them in their front-line roles.

The course content is mapped to the learning outcomes in the local Safeguarding Adults Training Standards (published Dec 2017) as well as to relevant national occupational standards including the Care Certificate (Standard 10). Course attendance is monitored by the Safeguarding Adults Board.

Message from Steve Claypoole following the last session

I found this a really positive meeting and am already enjoying this way of working. The group are really strong and were incredibly supportive to the adoptive parent who attended for the first time.

I think with a mixture of focused sessions combined general discussions this will be really positive over the school year for all.
